I would fold, and assume he made a set somewhere (or is a terrible player and stayed in with a 2x). Most likely on the flop, and was slowplaying...

Ditto Decker - fold. However, looking at how the hand was played, with top pair on the flop and a passive table, I think I would have come out a little more aggressively - at least 3x BB maybe more in an attempt to claim the pot right there. Now if I had a read on MP1 that he's going to call no matter what, I might check to see what he does. If he comes in large, I'd probably abandon the hand and save the chips for a better hand later. If I had to guess, I'd say he was on a a pair of 55 and made his set on the river having gotten to the river relatively cheaply. Take this for what it's worth, I'm certainly not an expert! 8^)

depends on my mood. if i was sick and tired of people coming over the top, i'd call and see his miraculous 2 pair beat mine. if not, i'd fold to fight another round.

Have you found any good online casinos? I've found a few... gambling software
gambling software is my new favorite online casino - they have good games and they are a reputable egold casino. I like egold as it's under the radar in many ways and it's a nice way to keep my winnings hidden from uncle sam.
gambling software has instant payouts, is safe, secure, and runs an honest game.
In short, I never felt like they were trying to hustle me.

Like your blog a lot.
